Just to let you know the enthusiasm of The Bored Seamstress hasn’t wained. Mowing the lawn, I peak through the window to see my sewing machine and serger sitting their lonely as I toil away with the normal springtime chores. Now that the garden is almost complete – chuck-a-buck full of 8 9 tomato plants, zucchini, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, green string beans and okra, I can get back to sewing.
Last night I put together a darling Baker’s Apron. I made my own pattern using freezer paper, Josh’s level/yard stick, my quilting ruler and a handy-dandy pencil. It was really quite easy!
I cut out the pattern, then pressed and prepared the fabric for the main body of the apron, pocket, and cut the neck-ties and waist-ties. And YES you see that correctly, those are metal “D” rings. What an easy way to make it custom fitting for whomever! It was definitely a fun project and I felt great that I was doing it My Way! I followed my own sewing intuition and I think it came out great!
What do you say?
Josh took the picture. I asked him to decapitate me for posting on Etsy purposes. I am crossing my fingers I will get some one interested in it.
Any feedback, I am all about that….Let me know what you think!

Hi Mag,
I’m breezing through your posts, speed reading as I go for common ground. (I lived in Northern VA for most of my life. You are a brave woman to take on that DC rat race…I do remember some great shopping opportunities there. I miss the shopping and resturants…and the mountains…but not the population, traffic and air quality.
Your apron is darling! Great choice of fabric…looks like rainbow sherbet. Yum!
I’m off to do some more speed reading.
